Digital BW, The Print

Shilesh:
I have no idea how much ink went into the cart. I just know that the
black ink line is almost all air while the others are almost all ink.
I tried starting over with the vacumn pump but that's pulling ink out
of the cart instead of air. 
I know if I can fix it, just want to do it tonight instead of waiting
for MIS to send me a new black ink cart. 
I'll probably just try the bottom fill adapter. All I can do is get
ink all over the place. 
Thanks,
Bob Michaels.--- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com,
